Other news in the world!

Other news in the world!

Yes it's true, there is actual other news in this world beside's our big presidential campaign!

  I realize this may be hard to believe that Clinton's Emails, and Trumps reckless talk are not the only serious issue's affecting the rest of the country! Just as serious there is more going on around the other side of the world that could affect us all that has nothing to do with even ISIS!

  We at times can find ourselves so enthralled with issues that we end up with a form of tunnel vision! I'm in no way immune to this as well, As I have found myself so immensely entangled in Donald Trumps web of, off the wall remarks and comments, that I have been stuck in his tractor beam of insult as well!

  We have this crazy race riot brewing in Milwaukee that has been lightly hitting the news these last few days! This is one that the community should bite their tongue on, as the African American man that had been shot and killed by law enforcement was armed, and with a stolen loaded weapon!

  Until I hear and see all the information, I will definitely side with law enforcement on this one! Unfortunately most of the community has taken to the streets creating civil unrest!  All that it is really doing is hurting a cause that started as a just and notable one!

  Somethings you just can't keep crying foul on every possible issue, and when you do, your cause is only making you look more like an excuse to keep the Injustice fire burning! It's only making the cause look really, really bad!

  Moving right along in other parts of the world we are bombing ISIS still in Syria and Iraq, In which we have been making actual ground! In Syria two thousand plus civilians were able to get out of the city of Manjib after coalition forces were able to take back the city.

  ISIS had been using these two thousand people as a human shield In which the men were forced to grow beards and the women forced to wear Niqabs as they were forced to abide by their captors fanatic religious standards as well!

  

  The U.S. has been helping in Libya at the new Governments request with bombing campaigns against ISIS that have been very successful!  

  So we have some good news in some parts of the world I suppose! Though it's still a very long road to go! Despite what Donald Trumps thinks and says, it cannot be won overnight! That's just a pipe dream thinking the such!

  We of course are still seeing the South China Sea heading in uncertainty!

A fleet of Chinese fishing ships of around 200 headed towards the Senkaku Islands which are more contested Islands from China that  are under Japanese control.

  They were being led by 6 Chinese coast guard ships which some of them were armed with military capabilities after being refitted from naval vessels!

  This is an area of uncertainty and one that just may shape the future of everything we know! 

  China claims that the whole South China Sea is part of their rightful area of ownership because of an ancient belief that they were the original founders of the whole area! 

  Which is debatable, As well as contested by just about every other Asian nation that borders the South China Sea!

  One of the reasons that China want's complete control of the area is because of the fertile fishing grounds and the large amount of natural resources that lay at the sea floor!

  Coming up is the G20 summit, and it's anybodies guess what will be in store with all that is on the plate! 

  The E.U and the Brexit fallout, As well as the rumors of more breakaway's looming on the horizon!

  Another big talk will be with Russia and how they are going to weigh in with matters pertaining with Crimea! It sure is one of the big concerns from the E.U. and the U.S., As well as is the rest of the Ukraine! It Should be some heated debate!

  I know all of the world event's are much to be concerned about! With myself China's action are that of which I have been watching with a great worries and much concern!

  Actually it should be a concern with all! The Asian pacific summit had just recently taken place, Which the U.S. and much of  the rest of the world were highly anticipating to see if China might come to an agreement with the hotly contested man made islands that China has taken over and claimed!

  The summit ended up being less then what the U.S. hoped for, With talks of China's actions not really being the hot topic among those affected most!

  The Hague had ruled in a court hearing that the Philippines had the right to the islands in which China had taken over! China had said they would not honor any ruling from the Hague, and one especially against them!

  Of course China has militarized all seven Islands in which they had built up out of mere shoals, And this was after they had promised and made statements that they would do no such things!

  China has made an impact around the world with their rise into capitalism! One area in which they are very large in is on the African Continent! As a matter of fact they are in the process of building a military base there as well! And it so happens to be in a very close proximity to a U.S base!

  What does these all mean? Well I have touched on China's involvement on the African continent in some other blogs, and the one thing I can promise it is in no way any good towards the people of Africa! 

  China has giving African communities silly things like soccer stadiums while in return China has been strip mining whole communities of all their natural resources!

  

  The reason for African nations to decided to do business with a communist country such as China is simple and I'll explain!

  Even though I called China Communist, The CCP (Chinese Communist Party!) They are essentially anything but!

  China is more of an authoritarian leadership country! Capitalism has grasped a hold of the country under the state and private sector. My personal views are that China is more dangerous at this stage then Russia is even close to being! 

  China presently has the second largest amount of private citizens that are billionaires only second to the United States! Germany is the closest with an almost tie. China with slightly over 150 and Germany almost at 150 while America with over 500!

  So I really don't even classify China as Communist anymore, But without a doubt in this world they are a full on Authoritarian ruled people! They still have state run media and the such, So freedom of speech is a long off pipe dream! Although occasionally a few people will, and do speak out! Some get bothered very little, while others have disappeared completely!

  China is well know for the lack of any type of worker safety rights of any kind whatsoever! Their human rights record is a non existent joke!

  With this fact well known and China's involvement in Africa their land isn't only being taken and stripped from them, The African's that do work at any Chinese business, They are under paid, and if hurt their pretty much S/O/L/ shit out of luck! This happens frequently! 

  Another thing that is very concerning is the fact in a lot of communities China has replicated everything after Chinese culture! Buildings, residential neighborhoods in which China had paid to rebuild all these areas, But all after Chinese cultural looks!

  On top of this all the kids in school are required to learn and speak Chinese! This may sound unimportant though this is where it gets increasingly worrying!

  China is spreading across Africa that is at an alarming rate! As China woo's potential Countries within Africa they donate money and build potential countries all sorts of gifts from Bridges, Buildings, Stadiums, Whatever it takes to win the hearts of the people they do!

  This is where the U.S. and other western alias have failed with the African people! We have pretty much only giving a lot of these struggling countries charity and aid and!We preach the importance of freedoms and democracy! And in return we just ask them to be loyal to a democracy that does very little for them besides that!

  The Chinese have offered them more of a financial lifestyle and freedom which is what these people actually want, and desperately need!

  The price they must pay is a loyalty to the CCP (China) which in no way recognizes Democracy! This is where it should concern everyone! 

  China has not just taken stakes in Africa, As they have been negotiating deals with countries all around the world!

 What's this all mean? Well China had made plans back in the 90's to start a different approach and start planning in ways where they were able to guarantee their survival into the future world by having the means to do so! 

  This means with everything from the natural resources to agriculture and everything in between! This would place themselves as a power house with not just enough, But the larger amount of everything! 

  Their goal is obvious as not just a global competitor, But more of the global leader! With this they are well on their way! They have been going as far as challenging the American military by not backing down! One big thing they have done is to tell their citizens to prepare for war with the United States! 

  So this along with our present Presidential race we should be thinking of the greater importance! With the facts of what China is doing, As well as who we potentially might place in the White House, it's a potential powder keg!

  I would suggest someone with the intelligence to negotiate around some pretty complex situations as this is what will be in store for them!

  They better have skill, Knowledge, And the capacity to not take things personally!

So there's some food for thought and other issue's happening around the world!

  

  

   

  

  

Email gone wild!

Email gone wild!

By T.J. Rockford

  Ok unless you've been living under a rock, In a box, and on a deserted island somewhere around the South Pole you're fully aware of the BIG Clinton Email scandal!

  As much as it may have some merit into security protocol do you think it really needs to go this far? I mean hell's bells! 

  Sure there may have been some rules broken! Do you really think she's the only one to have done this? I guarantee you right now if you go back in the stacks of files and documents you would find a lot more high officials in our government have done this same sloppy practice! And sloppy is all it should be chalked up to being!

  Stop this nonsense and let's get on to some more important business at hand! Give her a fine, scold her, reprimand her, do whatever besides turning this into some major crime scene, because it's not! All this is, is a way to make the general public think the feds are actually doing their job for a change!

  If the government wants to impress us have them dig into Donald Trumps tax records for the last 30 years so the public supporting him will see that he probably hasn't paid any taxes since he was old enough to actually have to pay! 

  I will guarantee the regular average working class family pays more in taxes yearly then he ever has in a single year! And this is how the rich get richer and we get stuck paying their share! Think about that if you're contemplating on supporting him! 

  He's far from being the only rich person that doesn't pay taxes! Taxation was meant for the commoner! Not for the aristocrat like people! I think if you look up the definition of the word aristocrat you would find an image of Trump with his freakish smile!

  The bigger issue here is the amount of money that has been spent on chasing down this horse and pony show of a scandal! If your familiar with the word "Red Herring" Well this would probably fit in here somehow! 

  Anything to dig up dirty laundry and spend millions of dollars, Or bury dirty laundry spend millions, Or buy someone else's dirty laundry for millions and then spend millions more chasing down some smoke and mirror parlor tricks, our government will be willing! Anything to waste some money their willing! 

  Well I'm not willing! And I'm tired of this B.S.! And I want to see some better head lines in the news besides the millions more were spending on this Email crap! News like maybe we've finally stopped ISIS? Or how about we've come up with a solution to curb climate problems? Now there's a few examples I wouldn't mind seeing millions of dollars flying out the window for! Not all this man power and money just going down the shitter' and for what? What the hell is going to end up coming out of this? That's right nothing!

  Nothing but a big fat waste of millions of dollars! Like we don't piss enough away let's try spending millions and see if we can screw over Clinton somehow!

  Don't worry about what's happening with China! And how their hacking into America's highest most vitally secret documents! Like we couldn't be spending all these wasted millions of dollars on maybe ramping up our computer security! Or maybe paying someone smart enough to build an impenetrable firewall system! Heck we didn't even have a security system on our computer's for the last hack they did stealing tons of government employees info! Couldn't afford the 79 bucks for a years worth of BullGuard computer security, But we can afford millions with the big Email scandal! Makes sense if your in the American government!

  Like this country isn't in a enough of a spiral shit spin! We have this lunatic republican feeding the country a bunch of horse shit and everyone's sucking it up without even thinking of the impact of anything he says! 35% to 45% Tariffs to China, Mexico, and Japan! And the crowds go bullshit wild! Until China, Mexico, and Japan snap back and raise the price of everything 110%! If you don't think these countries would do that you're as delusional as Trump!

  Another thing Trump just said he would do right off if he became president is reverse the Canadian keystone oil pipeline deal! For those of you that don't know the Obama administration squashed it from happening! And why you ask? A little thing called the climate is going to hell in a hand basket! Going ahead with that plan would defeat the purpose of what "the whole world" is trying to accomplish and curb global warming!

  

  That is everyone but "Trump!" He had actually said to the press back in 2014 that the government was wasting tons of money on trying to curb climate change and global warming, Trump said it was all a "hoax!" 

  While at the same time his company was petitioning the fine people of Scotland's Government to let them build a gigantic seawall at the location where one of his golf courses is because due to climate change and global warming is happening faster then predicted that sea level rise is going to double what previously was thought! So they want to try protecting the golf course! "Some hoax huh?"

  So just what we need the Canadian oil pipe line! Trump said he would support big global trade in our oil and coal industry! He said with all this energy we're sitting on we can make loads of money! Sure never mind what kind of world we'll leave our children! 

  So enough about Clinton and her phone! Let's get on to more important matters because it's not just kind of important! The future of America and possibly the planet are at stake!

  China was able to hack America's computer system and obtain the prints for our most expensive trillion dollar F-35 joint strike jet fighter and has the government spent millions on finding out who let that happen? No! 

  So once again enough with this witch hunt!

A rift felt around the world!

A rift felt around the world!

T.J. Rockford

From the File's

  Like it's new news, Or maybe it is for for some? nonetheless it's one that should be resonated daily in order for people, especially in America to hear and better yet fully understand!

  The rift I'm speaking of is the rift happening in America as you're reading this during these time's of woe and worry! The worry of in which direction the country is heading, the candidacy, the feeling of a lot of Americans are showing the strong resentment towards the government which in turn is being absorbed around the world!

  With the way things are playing out in the U.S. right now it is making a lot of other countries on edge and highly nervous of the outcome! 

  So what does one do when felt in danger? Well a smart few will run like hell! I know if I were on the other side of the planet right now and was witnessing what is happening amongst the most powerful nation on the planet I would be planning for the worst!

  The worst I'm speaking of is the unknown financial future that may be affecting the whole world very soon! 
 So since the Chinese started their version of the world bank AIIB (ASIA INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT BANK) and was offering loads of cash to be borrowed, as well as all the trading, buying, restructuring they have been involved in, most of our own alias have been jumping ship and opening up to the Chinese embrace! Japan and the U.S. held out the longest to join, but we both have sense expressed an interest to work together.

  

  What happens then? Well this really all depends on a few things! One of the big problems with this is where China's stance is on topics such as climate, workers rights, Or more importantly Human rights. 
  I should point out China is notoriously horrible towards any type of human rights areas! Which should be of grave concern to all! But it seems when the cheaper things come the less people care! So this will be an interesting area to watch when it unfolds!

  The other issue is China's very non existent in their transparency department! Seems to me this is, or should be a huge issue! 

  The point of China starting this whole banking scheme is to try placing itself as a major world player, Which if looked at as a country just wanting a piece of the capitalist pie, that's fine! But, and this is a big BUT! Imagine a country such as China dominating the world market? With the lack of everything I had just stated above!

  When I look at the the progressive things China has done, and is doing, I personally feel like they are working towards being more then a world player, But more like the dominating world power!

  I had written a previous blog How's your Chinese? Which touches on some of the things China is involved in and has done to advance itself as a player and a power!
  The other thing to point out is the fact China is struggling a bit financially as well. Maybe from moving a little faster then they should of, maybe not!
  China is working at changing their market instead of being the leading nation in making other countries items cheaply, such as clothes. they are branding their own items for the market as well!
  What this will mean is a rise in costs around the board! So if you still want your products made in China expect an increase in price! I wonder if Trump will still continue to have his clothing line made in China? You would think as much as he spews of America values he would of had his clothing line made right here in America with pride, and American values! Like I have stated he is not about pride it's all about himself and the dollar!

   China had started all of this all off of their trading idea they came up with several years ago now and called it the silk road! Having loads of investments now all over Africa, Asia, and into Europe and beyond! 
 The silk road is expanding vastly and rapidly! Of course this being their reasoning for militarizing all the shoals and reef systems. As well they are presently building up a military position on the African continent, right down the coast from the U.S. base. This is all due to their capitalist expansion they have been working on and their supposed reason to protect their investments!
  And if you believe that I got a bridge I'll sell you! Only problem is it's in China!

  

  It's kinda funny all these countries will jump on board with the Chinese banking and trading scheme but when the Chinese come snooping around some of these other countries back yard territories, say such as India well that's a bit to much!

  For several months now Chinese submarines have been spotted off of a particular strategic location off the coast of India.
  Out of concern India has actually embraced the U.S. in return for some help in tracking and monitoring the Chinese activities off of their coast!

  India has held out for a long time wanting any western involvement and had actually worked with Russia on various military involvements such as their version of the hypersonic missile system! 

  Just so they didn't have to get entangled in American bull, I mean bureaucracy! But in this particular case where the U.S. has the best submarine tracking capabilities on the planet they decided it was time to start talking an alliance of sorts! Because India is getting very concerned about China's ruthlessness, and plans! As are several other nations, Though everyone is still on board with working with them, Like any of that makes sense is beyond me? Hey China thanks for the help but please stay the hell out! NO TRESPASSING!

  With all of our issue's here in the U.S. of course the world is watching very anxiously! If  Trump follows through on any of the B.S. he throws around I fear the rift will become more like a gaping gap!
  He say's stuff people want to hear, But following through with these things especially with foreign affairs will be a very bad idea! 
  There is a very poor outlook with either potential candidate Clinton or Trump! Trump will lead this country down a path I'm unwilling to travel just from a moral stand point alone! Well actually it's a bit more than that, But that's for another very, very, long blog!
  Clinton is just another cog in the machine that is crushing the life out of America right now! If she kept on this path that Obama has started I fear some drastic measures would arise from the good people of this country!

  This is not only a rift felt around the world, this is a huge rift happening right here in America! You have a group of people loving the rhetoric Trump is barking and sadly he really has no plans on what he really would do to start America back on a path to prosper!
  He says things that really will hold little water, but he knows this is what America wants to hear! Once he got to the white house I'm absolutely certain he will be in his glory with his proud as a peacock love of himself! But as for helping America dig out of this mammoth hole were in he will accomplish nothing!
  
  I guarantee one thing is for certain for whoever gets the big job they will have the weight of the world upon their shoulders, Literally!
  I know building a huge wall even one that bordered the entire Continental United States would matter and do very little! Sure it sounds great we can all huddle in our own private little fuck you the rest of the world bubble, and what will that get us?
  Sure you can say to other countries, hey if you don't pay us more money for our military covering your soil and providing a sort of umbrella of protection we're packing our bags! 
This would be the stupidest move we could make if we followed through with because once they say screw you then what! Because in all actuality it's more of a better thing for us being there then them needing us there from a front position strategical point of view, So what then? 
  
  Yup it sure sounds good when Trump say's the things he does, But if you know anything about anything it's a load of garbage! 
  The rift being felt now is nowhere near as bad as that of which Trump could possible create if he attempted to apply have of the stuff he rambles on about! 
  So what's the choice, Clinton? Well I suppose with her at least we would already be prepared of what to expect! 4 more years of the bog we're mired in now! 
  Although I may be willing to do that considering the other possible choice! With any luck someone a little more tactical with solutions and ides may arise from the ashes of 4 more years of the past 8! 
  Are you actually that desperate to place your future, your families future, everyone you've every loved future's in the hands of a man that admits he does most of what he does to entertain the people? Not to actually fix anything, But to entertain us for our vote! If people actually make this person the leader of the free world because he is entertaining I'm not sure how I could handle that? Talk about a rift! If you want a person that's entertaining please vote for someone like Howard Stern because at least he's truly real and entertaining, And I actually like him, I could deal with that!

Why America is failing!

WHY IS AMERICA FAILING?

For those of us that have been staying on top of the news within our military we have all heard the same story of staff shortages, and parts shortages.

  

 If  you look into the size of our military it has shrunk to sizes comparable to WWII! Which if you didn't realize was small comparable to population sizes of nowadays!

  Although we have downsized our military we have modernized it at the same time, which allows us to utilize other methods instead of risking human lives! Though it still leaves shortages in areas we really can't afford!

  We operate drones from all over the planet, and this is one way we have changed the playing field!

  We are constantly trying to make more advanced military equipment that requires less and less human interactions, So this leaves us with a human shortfall! Like who's around to fix the broken down high tech equipment?

  The one thing I have been witnessing lately is military personal, mainly Air Force personal, such as mechanics and pilot's coming forward and describing deplorable conditions! Lack of parts, not enough operational air craft available, and longer work days. Things such as this I've been hearing constantly and it is sickening!

  I'll tell you what it does, it makes me mad! It make's me mad in two ways, first It makes me mad that I'm hearing of all this belly aching! There was a time when our military use to be the toughest most fearful on the planet! 
  Well now all I hear is a bunch of whining cry babies! I hear people say they never get to see their families but only on the weekends! Well holy hell poor you! Most working class Americans even have to work on the weekends to get by! yet less get ahead!

  Buckle the hell up armed forces! If I was in charge and I witnessed all this crying on the news I would be furious! Just knowing the whole world is seeing our military personal crying because they only get to see their kids on the weekends! Be thankful you have a job and you can at least enjoy weekends with your family! Most Chinese that have young kids send them to family members because their working all the time! If their lucky they get to visit their children a couple times a year! Yes I said YEAR!

  We see the unemployment rate in Europe at an all time epic high of 50% and here we have our military personal crying because they only have weekends off! It's disgusting!

  Not only is it disgusting from an employment point of view it's disgusting from a defensive point of view! I can see all our foe's abroad looking at a system that is falling apart and breaking down!

 It's shameful beyond words! Where did the tough guy ever go? When did our armed forces turn into a bunch of belly achers and whiners? I get it totally and I understand that are men and women haven't been listened to by our own government. How insane is that when your own Gov't knows these parts and mechanical issue's and does nothing! Obama trying to make himself look good in some twisted way has done nothing but failed our country and set us back years!  

  Man alive! we all know that there needs to be some serious changes to our country! but come on! Publicize to the whole world how our military is going down the crapper due to no parts and long hours! Nice! Makes us look real good! I can see our enemies now, making a strategic plan to invade while the time is prime for the pickings!

  When did we become such a bunch of pussies? I know I never did any kind of crying about work when I was the same age as these people! I was grateful to be working period! Hell I worked 12 hour days 7 days a week for years at a time in my life and never cried like these people! 

 Number two I see enough bullshit with our defense issues, such as the F-35 Trillion dollar piece of garbage! Here we have Russia and China already working on 6th and 7th generation fighter jets plans! and we can't even get our 5th generation pile of crap to work! Yes, we need some changes!

  One thing we do need to do is beef up our mechanical personal to make our flying force better operationally wise! Meaning YES we need more trained personal! and NO MORE SCAVENGING FOR PARTS! If we can't make new aircraft we need to have new parts to operate our stockpile! End of story! 

  And the biggest thing of all is NO MORE CRYING! Makes us all look weak! Personally I'm not weak so speak for yourself! For the love of God STOP THIS! Please to all our service men and women I love you to death! I appreciate all you've done and sacrificed! We all know Obama has put America in a terrible position with slashing our military man power!  How he thinks he's done good is beyond me and a huge portion of America as well! So please trust me when I say we already know!
  But If you have feelings of being overworked, quit! and try the real working force! Try seeing if that's any better! I think you would find the working force of outside the military will be a touch more demanding! Welcome to the real world!

  It is sickening to see our forces having to steal parts or having to cannibalize from other jets in order to get a small portion of other jets operational! How can no one see this is no good? How can we have let this happen? The staple of what makes America what we are suppose to be, A world leader! and a world leader because of force! When we don't have the force how can we lead?

   I know the times are changing and there is a different breed of people because of how society is changing. People need to see things from outside their own world like in other countries and then you will see why America is starting to take a spiral out of control. 
  Unfortunately these other countries like communist China are the areas that don't tolerate such things to be said or happen! I know that's why America is different, But look at the difference! It's in a bad way hurting us!

  America is different because we have our freedoms, such as freedom of speech! unlike socialist countries where everything in the media is state run so it's all censored so things like crying about working to many hours and not having enough parts to fix the jet's never get out to the world! 
  I have to say maybe things like what our servicemen and women are saying should be listened to but not so much plastered all over every media outlet on the planet! Because yes it makes us look bad! Yes I know these are things that needs to be addressed but right now with all of America's issues and the craziness going on we are on our way to some very tough times!

  If things in our country don't start turning around I could see people mad enough to want to do something that would have some severe consequences! Such as trying to over throw the government!

  Before I go further I want to share a well known bit of world history! When America broke free from the tyranny of a king ruler from over seas the whole point was to gain our independence and have certain freedoms and rights, escape high colony taxation, things that just were not right!
  
 Well we did break free! and we did implement rights of freedom, But if you look through history from everywhere around the world this type thing has happened time. and time again! People got sick of how things were going and finally overthrew their government, Kings, Tsar's, Dictator's, Military ruler's, all the wrong doings!
  This is where the problem with America lies! We are still a somewhat young country although we are starting to feel the pains from our overbearing government! and a government that lies to us! and is deceiving! and seems to make their agenda a priority more so then the people's want;s and needs! people are fed up! 
 So yes I could see the beginnings of something not so good happening if we can't get our own government back on board to what it's all about!

  I feel as though our government is aware of this and have thought of this possibility as well and this is why we have certain rights pretty much taken away from us! Rights like privacy! You can count that one gone! 
  If you haven't noticed that all Americas local and state authorities are all using military equipment now! They have the heavy armament vehicles, they practice all the military style tactics, and they say stuff like privilege instead of rights! That's scary! It's scary that you cannot sit in your own home and not have to worry if your own government may be listening in on your every conversation!
  All they have to say is you were a person of interest! That easy! So who knows maybe we are seeing the beginning of the end for our young country! I hope not! But I know we the people need to get back what has been taking away, or you mind as well wrap the constitution up and throw it in the safe because it's been riddled with so many types of revisions that it's going to be useless real soon!

  So without to much pressure on anyone I would really be doing your homework on this up and coming presidential race! Trump really makes me nervous! Clinton really makes me nervous! But I'm afraid those will be the final two to actually make it the distance. 
  I have dug into as much info into both of them as I could find and honestly all I found is more to scare me! But that's me not you! Everyone is looking for different things in their lives! For my future, and more importantly my children's future, and my grand-kids future, I see no bright light in either candidate! 
 I won't bother you with details now, although in an up and coming issue the dirt will flow free and the choice for believing my words will be up to you!

  Of course everything I have mentioned of "Why America is Failing" in this short article is just a small and minute bit of the problem. Their is a very larger piece to the problem! Actually even a lot of little piece's as well! They are all things that really need to be addressed if we as a country are going to make it out and still intact!
So till then stay strong in your convictions because what matters to you is what matters,  period!

  

A WILDFIRE AROUND THE WORLD!

A WILDFIRE AROUND THE WORLD!

T.J. Rockford

If you haven't been privy to the news lately, well you've been missing out on all sort's of craziness! One big story is from the image above, which is a wildfire in the Fort McMurray area of Alberta, Canada. 

  A truly sad and horrifying event for humans and creatures alike!

  It seems as every direction I turn there is some important human interest article that should be known to everyone!

  I say human interest because all humans on this planet should take note to all the flurry of activity afloat right now!

  Whether it's the gigantically huge fire ablaze in Canada, Or the Trump presidential escapade. There are so many stories underfoot it's almost a bit overwhelming!

  We have new news from North Korea due to their first congressional meeting in over 30 years!

The workers party had finally held the meeting to usher the new era with their fearless leader Kim Jung Un.

  The workers party intention is to showcase the countries stability and unification under this 32 year old's leadership. With their rise into the nuclear capabilities age it has giving them the feeling of security, Or more like a weapon to threaten with in my opinion!

  In Kim Jung Un's speech he had stated, the North would not use their nuclear weapons for any first strike scenario! 

  Kim had stated the nuclear program is to be used for defensive purpose only a deterrent for his sovereign nation! 

  In his speech he say's they are willing to resume talks with the world! Sure, in order to jump start their failing finances, as I see it anyway! 

  In my eye's he's full of it! End of story! I feel bad for the people within the country but, why should it be our job to stop this tyrant? Why can't his own countrymen rise up, such as Kim Jung Un's great grandfather did when he seized power for the workers party union! 

   Well I suppose that's why he keeps all of his people starving, So they are to weak to fight! It truly amazes me that the whole country hasn't fled like a tidal wave into South Korea! 

  That was a small example of the world event's. Another interesting tid-bit was the news of Chinese police officers patrolling the streets of Rome and Milan Italy. Supposedly it's to help make the Chinese tourist visiting their feel more safe!

  Well I can't even begin to express how many ways of wrong this is! So there's no point in asking Italy in which way their alliance's stand! 

  Why not have police officers from every nation in the world patrolling the streets? After all I'm fairly certain there is more tourist from every other nation in the world visiting there then there is Chinese people! 
  If people haven't been paying attention over in main land China they have been tearing down all the cross's on all the church's steeples! They have been arresting the christian pastor's that don't comply and in a few case's people have been murdered! Just what the Chinese Government is worried about, Their citizens visiting the pope! Sure! The act that China is doing to their small population of Christians is disgusting, but why should we care? Apparently the U.S. is in favor of doing the same thing, but to the Muslim population! So much conflict all over religion and beliefs! The sad fact is it's all bull! and all these beliefs are for nothing! because there is no one of these religions that matter except in the minds of those that choose to believe! It is only an internal comfort because there is not a one of these religions that have a true supreme being! Everyone dying for nonsense! 
  Imagine a world of humans putting their faith into each other instead of some invisible being! Imagine what this planet could possibly achieve if we all could just get along!

  

 Seems like not so long ago in Italy's shameful past they put their alliance with the wrong people then as well! "Nazi Germany" for those that may not have known! Which I wouldn't doubt nowadays with American school systems being the worst in the world! 

  

  Like I had stated there is a lot happening within the world that we should all take notice of! The one big thing is our alias and, where allegiances lie!

  With China willing to loan tons of cash! and all the promises of a prosperous relationship why wouldn't other countries jump ship from the U.S.?

  I'm fairly certain everyone around the world has been watching the craziness going on within the U.S.! Why wouldn't they be looking for safety? Trump saying the things he has is putting everyone out there in crisis mode! I'm certain it will get a whole lot uglier very soon, but what then?

  It appears to me that the out of control wildfire in Canada, isn't the only wildfire that is out of control!  

  

 I see a world in confusion! Especially with the U.S. being in a state of uncertainty with the presidential candidacy in swing.

  I see other nations being very nervous of the prospect of Trump getting in the white house. Heck I'm scared to death of the thought! 

  

 I see Trump for what he's worth! and it ain't nothing near the billions he thinks he's worth! How other's can't see this truly baffles me? Sure he say's stuff, but who doesn't? I say stuff just like him all the time! Maybe I should be in the white house! 

  

 I'm sure I would do a better job then him! Because I actually understand what's going on around this world! and why things are the way they are! and need to be! Open your eye's America! Trump is fleecing you! He's using you to make himself MONEY! He has no idea on what he's doing! He's so freaking stupid he can only keep repeating all the stupid things he has said over, and over, and over! 

  

 They had to get someone smarter then Trump thinks he is, and he's trying to teach him a little of what's going on in this world, and why things are the way they are!

  So that really scare's me! The fact that he doesn't know some pretty obvious stuff, but my real big question is, if Trump begin's saying some smart and intellectual things that are actually relevant, and possible, what we should do is vote for the guy that is tutoring Trump! Because I know Trump won't ever say anything intelligent without someone having schooled him! And I bet the world and us would be a lot safer with this tutor in the long run!

  No, I'm not saying Hilary will make anything better either! The two least liked candidates in history! She has several areas I disagree with, besides the known facts. She is for gun control, which is a no, no in my book!

  I'd be all for control of the dummies that intend to use them for wrong doings! There's a good slogan! 

  I know we are limited and I'm uncertain myself as what direction to take? I do know this country needs to be more united, because divided we fall!

  

Maybe I do stand a chance to run for the presidency after all! I can talk like Trump as well, but I'll tell you, I would get this whole mess into order in quick fashion!

We would have the best of everything for our military, I promise you that! 

  I would never coward out of a situation because Russia said too! I would actually tune Russia up a notch so they caught my drift!

  

  As for China, I would draw a line and say DO NOT CROSS! The one thing I can, and will guarantee is, war is inevitable with China! 

  History has showed us this time and time again! Every time a nation, or civilization, has done what China is doing it has led to war! The only thing is when? 

  The longer they dig in it will be like another World War! Remember your history when Japan took over loads of Island and militarized them! Look how that went! 

  Here you have the only nation in the world that has been bombed by nuclear weapons Japan, and Trump want's them to arm themselves with that same thing that had scarred them so badly!      Because it was so destructive they are still heeling from it! All because they witnessed first hand they don't want any! Hence why we provide them with an umbrella! 

 But no, no it's not for free! Don't even think that! Heck Japan pays the U.S. 2 billion dollars a year for the U.S. troops in their country!

  I would keep things on track with Japan, and the same with South Korea! These are both key areas! It gives us strength in Asia! The base in Japan is a prime spot for a deterrent positioning aspect. Which Trump obviously doesn't realize! Pretty hard to protect Americas investments and commerce when we won't have a presence on one whole side of the planet!
  Just look at all of military strengthening with China right now! They understand what the value of a forward positioning is by what America has done in these areas! 
  Heck the Philippines gave the U.S. the boot out of their country 25 years ago in order to break free of our western hold on them! 

  

 Now they have giving back 5 base's to us! We are presently filling them back up because the Philippines are leary of China, even more so, then the U.S. apparently! 

And this is another strategic area, Just as is the Indian Ocean, and our presence in Africa is imperative! 
 Heck China is in the process of building a naval base right down the road from the U.S. in Africa!

  

 With the Suez canal being right up the African coast, and the amount of commerce that gets shipped through there, This is the prime reason we are their, for protecting our investments! which it's the whole world that ends up being affected in the long run!

   With the U.S. being there it has helped tremendously! Especially with breaking up the piracy that happens along this corridor! But now China is claiming the same thing, that they are protecting their investments! Which the whole of Africa is an investment of theirs right now! 

  

 More then ever we need to stay as a presence in these locations! Even if it means costing money! if we leave any of these locations it will give China, that extra step on the ladder, in which if we don't protect, we will be paying China! Right along with the rest of every other country!

  These are all the things that I would be working on if I were the President! Our biggest asset is our Alias! Especially for trading! and this is something I would tweak for sure! Especially China!

  I wonder if all these Trump supporters know of his clothing line he has? I wonder if they know China makes his labeled products? 

  Here he has rambled on about tariffs with China, Which he is just been saying, because he knows everyone want's to hear it! 

 he also knows that if he truly was as patriotic, as he is trying to sound, that he could of had his clothing label made right here in America, and still turned a profit! 

  But I guess he truly doesn't care about America that much! Can't make it any more obvious then he has, but his supporters keep on supporting! 

  

Personally I would never have China make anything for me! Because YES I am that patriotic! And everything I have ever bought that was made there ends up breaking! 

 I could see us leaving Japan in the lurch if Trump wins! Hell we've done it to everyone else we've promised to help! Look how great all those places we helped are doing now! Places like Iraq, Afghanistan, I'll stop there because this could get long! 
  
 Hell the U.S. put Saddam Hussein in power in the first place! The same thing happened in Iran, the U.S. had to get involved in their business way back over 60 years ago, which ended up turning on us, with a vengeance, around 1979!
 The CIA getting into affairs trying to manipulate the way things are, and whose in power, so it will benefit us better! This is a direct reason why Iranians dislike the American Government so much! Heck I'm on board with them!
 I can't say I like my Government to much either right now! Or have now for several years! I keep hoping for a miracle! 
  
 Do Americans really wonder why other nations dislike us so much? All thanks to our CIA! Where they get Intelligence out of the "I" is beyond me?
  These are all areas I would seriously revamp! Why? Because these type organizations have gone out of control! and someone needs to tweak them up to speed!

  Lot's of our secretive organizations seem to operate like there is no boundaries, and think they have this freedom to do whatever they please! They start things in which it all goes out of control! 
  
 Our country was founded on principles and ideas! This seem's to have been forgotten! Or just taken for granted and thrown out the window! Our Government seems to do as it wants, and not what we they people want! 
These people are supposed to be working for us, not just their collecting a pay check doing as they please! 
  No more agenda's that are not the people's agenda! Tune em up, and tear it down! IT'S TIME TO RESTRUCTURE!

  There's my endorsement speech!  Can't be any worse then the rest of em! I would start a wildfire of change in D.C. the like's of which would go down in the history books!

                                                                                                                                                                So yes there is more then one wildfire out of control in this world! But like I had stated early, it seems there is really so much happening in the world right now that it truly is a bit overwhelming for those that stay on top of these events!

  Although the wildfire in Canada right now should be one of grave concern to all! The reason why, is because for those paying attention to the climate issues this was foreseeable event that would start to take place!

  Weather change would, and will be, a big factor with the changing of our climate! My fears are this is just the beginning! I feel for everyone involved! 

  I can not even begin to imagine the horror that all these people have, and will have to endure for awhile to come!

  I think of all the wildlife that has been affected by this as well! All these animals that cannot escape from the grasp of this monster, it has made this event for them truly horrific as well! 

 To think that humanity had a hand to play in this is very unsettling with me,! As it should be for anyone with even one I oda of conscience!

  Our hearts go out to all involved! As do our thoughts and prayers!

The Rockford File's 2.Oooh!

How's your Chinese?

Not again!

T.J.Rockford

 First off let me apologize for doing something I hate doing, and that's repeating myself!

  I seem to bring up the topic of China A LOT! Well I suppose It's only understandable wouldn't you think? If you need to ask why? Or even wonder for that matter, It's because you haven't been to busy thinking of it, Or about it! 

  China only use to be a place I would moan and bitch about because everything I bought that was from there was always breaking!

  Really I had no notions, or any knowledge of what China was really up to? 

  People I was chumming around with during this era a few years back had other things on their mind, Such as the big recession! Bank bailout's, Stock market tumbling, You know stuff like that!

  I really wish I could go back in time a short trip! Just so I could take a better look into what the heck China was up to then! 

  I really don't even know if it would of sunk in then or not? I sure know it's sinking in now! The scary part is, It's wicked scary!

  I could write a whole book on the progress China has made over the last 20 years and most people would probably never believe it!

  I talk about China in almost all my article's, if only to mention their name! Just because they are that much of a force in these times.

  Why would I say this? Without repeating myself to much from prior rant's I'll just mention some specific's for those who might like to ponder a few things!

  

  Imagine a country something like, Hmmm Let's say China! and this country came along into your country, and your a country that has a large population, very under educated with little in the way of revenue and high poverty.

  Now let's say a country like China come's along and make's a proposal to catch your country up to speed with the 21st century!     Offer to construct new buildings, and home's, and roads, as well as a new transportation system specifically railway, Jobs, schools, and the biggest thing support! Support to get this all done, and support to keep things running for an economy.

  The deals consisted for China taking control of all the minerals rights, mining, lumber, you know pretty much everything Africa had!

   Certain parts of Africa consisting of some of the more poverty stricken areas where people will work real cheap, I think is where the Chinese had an Epiphany!

  Seeing how they were already taking advantage of all of the natural resources, the Chinese figured a way to make even more money off of an already poor nation! 
  
  all the materials used to do all this construction from the concrete, to wood, and steel, Etc, were all supplied by the Chinese, But all the raw materials for the construction being done were taken from Africa by the Chinese in the first place! Being charged for your own raw material!
 and at the same time China got a big gain on some territory that no other nations cared much about, Until now!

The one thing I want to point out before going further is the fact that for a very, very long time, nobody wanted anything to do with Africa!

  It was looked at kind of how we look at the middle east now. Just was a waste of money and time. Africa was a dismal pit of despair that had the potential to suck the life out of anyone who dared get involved in their unhinged turmoil! 

  Very much like South America use to be. I'm saying this to bring up a point, which you should get as we keep going along here.

  So with nobody wanting Africa, it kinda made it like the front door was wide open for whoever was willing to take her for a spin!

  I don't mean like the multitude's of idiot scum bag rebel type that rise up to power here and there taking control!

  But China on the other hand! they are very well at controlling the masses! Why would Africa be any different?

  China had made the deal, as I had stated, of modernizing Africa's transportation rail system for faster and safer transportation, Which was seriously in despair! seeing how it has been around since the British empire. 

 With all sorts of great promises of giving a better life to the African people, Or so was the thinking I assume!. 

  This modernized rail system would span the Congo, Kenya, Sudan and beyond! But the price tag on this endeavor is astronomical! The big thing you have to look at are all the loan's these African countries are procuring from China, it's truly off the chart's! 
  But with the new Chinese world bank they have a lot of money their willing to invest! The Chinese reach is getting tremendous!

  Just the rail system is over 30 billion dollar's! This isn't including all the other activity going on throughout all of Africa! If one were to do some digging around and adding up some number's they would see figure's toppling over 100 billion dollar's in loans continent wide! 

  One might say well that's not much for a continent, look at the U.S. and their figure's for money that is borrowed!

  The U.S. and Africa are two different creature's! Africa of course with her large population, and unemployment rate, as well as the high poverty rate isn't very attractive to most nations. 
  I should emphasize certain countries in particular seem like a high risk proposal! China is obviously doing more then gambling! There is obviously a laid out plan if any kind of financial slip up were to occur!

  China had seen opportunity for the taking! and why not? The western world wasn't helping to make the continent flourish! Sure we would supply aid here and there, but most of the countries in Africa were, and are, thirsty for modernization and some sort of financial gain if possible!

  The really big problem here is that all of the years the western world has been doing our little bit of helping within the continent was mostly to promote democracy!

  Now that all of Africa is getting a taste of China's financial services they are enjoying the flavor! 

  But this flavor is coming with a cost! and this cost is the pressure's from a non-Democratic country such as Communist China!

  With all this lending of money from this Communist country it has giving China a big voice in all of the government doings of all the countries involved. Such as what type of future progress any of these countries might be seeking! 

  The generosity of a China which is stripping the continent of all her natural resources and turning a dollar at every corner!

  The Chinese are very well known for their lack of compassion towards workers and any type of workers rights! Let's just say they don't have any human resources dept for worker's to run to! 

  If you happen to be one of the lucky African citizens to gain employment for all this work activity that China has been showering upon Africa, you better not get hurt! because the Chinese won't support you, or help in any way!

  The only help you will receive is help out the gate! where there will be 500 million other unemployed African's ready to die for that 150 to 200 dollar a month job that barely is enough money for a person to survive!

  What a deal for Africa! Give up your democracy, give up your resources, give up your country, and to boot the African people are paying China to have this all done! 

  How isn't this a good deal? For China anyways! Well I guess on the bright side the African people are learning a new language! That's an important feature to have on your resume! even in the American work force nowadays!

  If you look at some of the stuff China has done to make friends with cities and countries around Africa it's enough to make a person cringe!

  One big thing China has done for quite a few cities throughout all of Africa is build around 60 of these huge soccer stadiums and giving as gifts! 
  Just a way to break the ice to start the big take over process one would wonder! Knowingly, Or unknowingly by these African government officials is the big question?

  Or maybe that's all it takes to win the hearts, and the rights to all the people of Africa, is some nice new soccer stadiums! If I had only known!

   When I say the rights of the people one must understand that all the kids that go to these new built schools are required to learn to speak Chinese!

  Not that anything is wrong with that, but wouldn't you think it should be the other way around? China is in their country!
  I wonder how that agreement had evolved? Was it a demand from China, Or a friendly request? I can only speculate, But I do have a fairly good idea!
                                                       

  None of this makes sense? Here the African people have to pay back all this money they borrowed from China to have the Chinese come into Africa, refine all of the African natural resources that it would take to do all this work, Then have the Chinese do all the planning on how, and what would be built! all in accordance to how the Chinese wanted it done! 
    
  The one and only requirement in this deal for the African people was to lose their dignity! Not only didn't they put up a fight, but their paying the Chinese to really make it sink in to who the master of the house truly is! 
  This might sound harsh, but it sure looks this way! Although it just may be, what needed to be done in order to work!                                                                                                                 
  Essentially all it took was a government willing to take the heat from the rest of the world for screwing over and taking advantage of an underdeveloped poverty stricken people!
  The whole situation is just so crazy it sounds impossible to be true! Unfortunately it's very true!
  Although as I have said some of these African countries just don't get enough in the way of an economy, so China came across as a good investment. Time will tell!
   
   Try imaging China coming here and doing this, Oh boy! While your pondering this thought, add in the factor of the amount of American business's that China has ownership of.

  You better be sitting down when you find out the actual figures, because it's a lot! 

  It truly is sad that a country would do what has been done in Africa! Forcing a people to lose everything, including their identity! What's even worse is the powers that be in Africa have done this to themselves, and their people!

  Can you imagine going around the world forcing everyone to learn English?  Like that would ever happen in China!

  The point is China is dominating everything and everyone everywhere they go!

  Where and when will the line be drawn?  I'm going to stop this topic here because China's reach has extended farther then Africa, and the reach I'm referring to is more then just business ownership!

  It's the reach where they have a presence involved, which in turn requires a need to protect that interest. How do countries protect their interest? Just look into what China has done in the South China Sea! 

  I want to leave everyone with one more thought on this matter and it's a matter of historical fact!

  The facts are that every time a country has done what China is in the process of doing, and to the point they're willing to push it. 

 "The Chinese say their (Protecting) their interest! Their not (pushing) their might around by a show of military force!"

  Though anytime in history it has gone this particular route, In this particular fashion, it's always ended up to an eventual war!

  
 Just a factual tid-bit of info to ponder! until the next time on Rockford File's 2.Oooh! File's report! 

Always remember that the rate at which our climate is going through changes, in the long run no one will be a winner!
